I hate to say it, but that’s probably where Russell Wilson and Cam Newton will go for repairs one day. It’s as simple as the classic line from Episode 4 of Star Trek.

The Enterprise has lost power and is about to disintegrate in a planet’s atmosphere. The engines need 30 minutes to crank up, but Capt. Kirk tells his chief engineer he only has eight.

“I can’t change the laws of physics!” Scotty says.

The law here says when bodies in motion collide, damage ensues. And when a single body ventures into space roamed by 11 quarterback-seeking missiles, disintegration will occur. The only question is when.

None of which is exactly scientific news. It’s just that we’ve been anesthetized by the early results from Griffin and the hybrid fleet.

Mike Shanahan was so entranced Sunday he thought a quarterback could function on a knee held together by duct tape. Now RG3 will probably never be the same.

Everybody knew the deal. But the risks became an abstraction as Griffin dazzled us with his dual talents.

Having a guy who can throw like Manning and run like Adrian Peterson is not only wildly entertaining, it works. Hybrid offenses with their read-options drive defenses crazy.

But there’s a reason NFL offenses historically have revolved around quarterbacks who stay in the pocket—it works long-term.

There are 23 quarterbacks in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The vast majority ran only when they had to. It also helped that most ran like a 1974 Vega.

Steve Young was the exception. He had (at least) seven concussions, including four in his final three seasons. They caused him to retire after the 1999 season, when he missed all but three games.

Young was just the warm-up act for Michael Vick. We’ve seen how that’s worked out. A broken ankle ruined Atlanta’s 2003 season. Rib, finger, hand, leg and head injuries wiped out the past two seasons in Philadelphia.

Cam Newton grew up idolizing Vick, who’s made it through an entire season only once. Newton is faring much better so far. But he’s also 6-foot-5, weighs almost 250 pounds and has been getting pounded only two years.

Young ran 145 times in first two seasons as a starter. Newton’s done it 253 times. It’s no coincidence running backs have the shortest careers (2.57 year average) of any position. Those hits add up.

Eventually, they’ll catch up to even Newton. He led quarterbacks with 127 rushes last year. Griffin was next with 120 and Wilson had 94.

Brady and Manning each had 23 rushes. And it’s true they have been known to break down.

Brady needed ACL surgery in 2009, but his injury came when he was standing in the pocket. The doctor who repaired him weighed in on Griffin’s injury Thursday.

“If you look at how he was playing and what was happening to him, RG3 barely made it out of this season without another concussion,” Dr. Neal ElAttrache told USA TODAY. “If you look at how he went about playing his position, the longevity of a guy like that is not the same as a pro-style quarterback.”

And when a guy like that breaks down, there’s no replacement. The way RG3 mesmerized, such risks seemed worth it.

Then you picture what Griffin’s knee looked like Wednesday morning. It was a sad reminder that no matter how much football styles change, the laws of physics don’t.
